Wednesday, September 18, 2024 - 10:15 to 11:15
Lab 5, D23 Seminar Room

Talk by Nicky Kai Hong Li, Technical University of Vienna (Austria)

Seminar Summary: Certifying entanglement is an important step in the development of many quantum technologies, especially for higher-dimensional systems, where entanglement promises increased capabilities for quantum communication and computation. A key feature distinguishing entanglement from classical correlations is the occurrence of correlations for complementary measurement bases.
